In Japan, almost no one
In Japan, almost no one wears a helmet while surfing.
I do use a GATH in dangerous spots, but it really stands out.
SurfShell is very useful because it protects my head without drawing attention.
I was worried that having a built-in helmet might make me look bulky, but when I actually put it on, it fits neatly. It doesn’t make me look big at all.
